We have a very long way to go before all are accepting. I am hearing people getting upset about refugees coming into our cities. It is so upsetting to hear people object at giving a helpful hand. We need more loving media programs and less shows with guns and fights. We are breeding trouble by what we are conxtantly pushing vis all the networks. Sadly violence sellsand that is the borrom line.<br />I wish there was a global leader that was positive and able to reach all hearts globally. Some have tries but few have succeeded beyond borders.<br />I shall be thinking of your optimism tomorrow. May the One be omnipresent as the earth turns. <br />P.S. In Saudi it will mark the start of their time of holy pilgrimage with another Eid around September 1. Will it bring peace to them?<br />Heidrun Khokhar, KleinsteMottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174142810114806410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195629195750583833.post-26836429911611479212017-08-20T13:10:19.832-05:002017-08-20T13:10:19.832-05:00This may be because I'm old and just getting o...This may be because I'm old and just getting over being really ill (kidney infection/diabetes issues) but I feel totally overwhelmed by the evil, the ignorance, and the fear that lives in white America. Trump became president, turned over a rock, and out came all of these, whatever they are, creepy crawlies, representing so much hate. Still, I love it here and I don't want to go home again.

I made that trip many times in the 38 years I lived in Stillwater and came down here to visit. You'll be seeing "muddy Mo," which isn't far from where I live.

Perhaps if *everyone everywhere* would think thoughts of peace and love and oneness (even just for those 2 minutes), it could possibly have some sort of effect. However, I doubt if this is likely to happen... as *everyone everywhere* are not of like mind.
